Aaron Orozco and a couple of his passengers were at a 7-Eleven parking lot during one of Orozco’s Uber routes. Orozco and the two passengers were involved in a physical altercation before one of the passengers shot him. The suspect subsequently took the veteran’s Honda Accord and departed the scene. The vehicle was later found abandoned.<\/p>\n

A California Marine Corps veteran and father of two was shot and killed while driving for Uber on Friday morning.<\/p>\n

Aaron Orozco, 38, was driving for the rideshare company when he got into a “physical altercation” with two of his passengers at a 7-Eleven parking lot in Lynwood, according to Los Angeles police.<\/p>\n

During the altercation, one of the suspects shot the veteran before fleeing the scene in the victim’s Honda Accord.<\/p>\n

Police said the driver, later identified by family as Orozco, suffered a gunshot wound to the upper torso while the suspects remain at large as of early Sunday.<\/p>\n

The vehicle was found abandoned a short distance away from the shooting, according to authorities.<\/p>\n

“It just seems like I’m in a nightmare. It doesn’t seem real to me,” Sandra Medina, Orozco’s wife, told Fox 11. “I haven’t even told my kids yet, they still think dad is going to come through the door.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
